Transport and Lifting Instructions

Observe and Obey:
Genie provides this securement information
as a recommendation. Drivers are solely
responsible for making sure machines are
properly secured and the correct trailer is
selected pursuant to US Department of
Transportation regulations, other localized
regulations, and their company policy.
The transport vehicle must be parked on a level
surface.
The transport vehicle must be secured to
prevent rolling while the machine is being
loaded.
Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces
and chains or straps are suffi cient to withstand
the machine weight. See the serial plate for the
machine weight.
Securing to Truck or Trailer for
Transit
Fully lower and retract the boom. Make sure the
boom and mid-pivot rest securely in the mast

Always chock the machine wheels in preparation
for transport.

Securing the Chassis
Place a block under the tongue.
Place a block on both sides of the axle behind the
wheels.
Use the four tie-down points on the chassis for
anchoring down to the transport surface.
Use chains or straps of ample load capacity.
Use a minimum of 4 chains to secure the chassis.
Adjust the rigging to prevent damage to the chains.
Securing the Boom
Models that are not equipped with a mast cradle at

Support the secondary boom at the mid-pivot with
a block placed on the fl oor of the truck bed, not the
tongue of the machine.
Secure the boom with a nylon strap placed over
